Configure PHP and MySQL Assist

[wagb278]

PHP extensions do not seem to be active on my system.

I get the "call to undefined function" error executing mysql_connect() function in PHP scripts. PhpInfo configure command shows --without-mysql so I presume that being the root cause.

On a whim, I added mysql.so to php.ini with no impact [rebooted afterwards]

Apache2, PHP, and MySQL are installed and functioning on my Suse 9.1 system. I used Yast2 to install and the php4_mysql extension module was specified (and appears in /usr/lib/php/extensions). I thought Yast2 should enable the PHP extensions that I selected. I guess not.

How do I enable mysql support from PHP?

I also want, but don't have session support [session-start() function also fails] and I assume it is for the same or similar cause.
PhpInfo configure command shows: --disable-session. Do I need to complile? I thouhgt that is what Yast2 does.

My problem has been solved. I was not entering the correct extension filename in the configuration file. Instead of mysql.so; I entered msql.so and instead of session.so I was entering sessions.so.

Helps to pay attention!
